More than 30 nations award Rhodes scholarships, each according to its own schedule American Rhodes winners will be announced at the end of the month, after interviews next week

Endscott, who is concentrating in Classics combined with English, said yesterday the interviews was less gruelling than he had expected. "The questions were not hard at all They were about things I was doing for the most part, and about my career."

At Oxford, Endicott said, he intends to work towards a masters degree in classics or comparative philology and eventually attend a Canadian law school

Endiscott is currently co-captain of the Harvard rugby team and a member of the Christain Fellowship.

Nevin, who graduated from the College of Western Ontario in 1979, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
